dd23 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Bunch of 'fashion victims' IMO. Although, Davies the c**t looks like he's sporting a Rolex Daytona.Aye, and we paid for it.[emoji16][emoji16]In our all time crock Hall of Fame he must beat even Colin Cameron, and whichever of the Youngs was theoretically on our books 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtyplus Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 What your going through is just what we experienced when we dropped into this division. We believed we were too good to be in this position and expected to come back up in one season. This was/is disrespectful to the other teams. They have seen their income increase over the past few seasons with Rangers, Hearts, Hibs and United bringing large away supports. They have filled their teams with experienced pros whilst not necessarily the most talented, these guys and the experienced managers know how to grind out results. Meanwhile, United and now Dundee frequently change managers and players usually overpaid players who flatter to deceive. These constant changes get you nowhere, only this season does it look like Utd have the manager, established team and structure behind the scenes to hopefully get us up, but it’s a difficult and expensive journey. In my opinion, for what it’s worth, Dundee need to accept it’s not going to be a quick fix, look for some stability, invest in the youth team and as painful as it will be, look at the long term. I still worry if Utd go up and after the last few seasons I am not taking that for granted, we could come straight down again, teams like Hamilton, Livingstone Ross County and St Johnstone with less resources consistently out perform us both, obviously good management an established structure and living within their means (ok some have a wealthy support) is the way forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, we just stick with a manager who has quite clearly lost the plot, and hope for the best? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a decent post, however, the manager is utter dog shit. You went through 3? managers until you got one that worked, we cant stick on 1 for continuities sake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our problem was not punting managers quickly enough. McNamara should have been punted at the end of the 14/15 season; Laszlo should have been punted at the end of the 17/18 season. We paid the price for these things not happening. McPake is not suddenly going to become a good manager. Objectively speaking if he’s not up to the job he should go. Subjectively I hop he stays! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The counter point to that is that we also stuck with McKinnon and Laszlo long after it was clear to almost everyone that they weren't up to it. Sticking with that muppet Csaba, in particular, was an expensive mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixtyplus Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 We have been lucky so far in that our American investor anticipated that investment was needed, whether he anticipated how much, only time will tell, but the changes behind the scenes suggest stronger foundations than we’ve had for some time. However I am well aware it could all go pear shaped if he were to withdraw his support. you guys know better than me if your current manager should be given time, what I am saying is an instant return to the premier league looks ambitious this season. If a new manager is appointed, I hope for your sake it’s someone who is given time to build a team that will compete, it has taken us 3 years and we’re not there yet, just suggesting you learn from our mistakes. Two strong teams in Dundee can only be good for both of us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we are going through is similar to what happened to United You appointed McNamara, then Mixu, then McKinnon. The last two in particular were joke appointments from your point of view. Never in a million years were Mixu or McKinnon even remotely good enough. We have appointed McCann, then McIntyre, then McPake. All three joke appointments for different reasons. Without a decent manager you have no chance. Edited to say I forgot all about Csaba Edited December 1, 2019 by Shadow Play 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By getting rid of him, and (in theory) getting someone decent, we have a chance next season. Hoping that an abject failure, who has no redeeming managerial features, will improve is absolutely ridiculous, he has to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 My fear is if we do dispatch of McPake there's a serial list of terrible managers out there right now that would arguably be worse: Steven Pressley, John Hughes, Terry Butcher, Mark McGhee and Stuart McCall all looking for a gig. McCall would be infinitely better than mcpake but I just don't like him hence his inclusion. Derek Adams? Would John Robertson apply again and not be a lying shitebag this time? Dare I say it, Ian McCall since it's going swimmingly at Partick Thistle? Jocky is obviously a joke suggestion as he won't be on the list of candidates. There's not much out there if Strachan doesn't want the gig. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifespud Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Couldn’t see McCall moving so out of that list Robbo would be my choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
